🍫 No-Bake Peanut Butter Ball
🥜 Peanut Butter Mixture
1½ cups creamy peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½–3 cups powdered sugar (adjust for firmness)
¼ teaspoon salt (optional, but recommended)
🍫 Chocolate Coating
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1–2 tablespoons coconut oil or shortening (for smooth dipping)
👩🍳 Instructions
Mix the base
In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until smooth and creamy.
Add flavor
Mix in vanilla and salt.
Sweeten & thicken
Gradually add powdered sugar until the mixture is firm enough to roll but not crumbly.
Roll
Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill
Refrigerate for 30 minutes (or freeze for 15) so they hold their shape.
Melt chocolate
Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip
Dip each ball into chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Let excess drip off.
Set
Place back on parchment and chill until chocolate is firm.
